No Getaway
U.F.O. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, look across the street
I know that you're alone
I've been waiting out in the dark
That surrounds your home
'Cause after midnight I'll be calling
C'mon, answer the phone

And baby, you know there's no getaway
I belong with you
I'll be calling every night and day
'Till you want me too

Baby, I've seen every movie
That you've ever made
Now I'm waiting
I know all the parts
That you've ever played

And baby, you know there's no getaway
I belong with you
I'll be calling every night and day
'Till you want me too

Oh baby, do you read my letters
I'm so excited about you
But I'm still waiting, I've had no reply
What about our rendezvous?
'Cause after midnight
Ooh, while you're sleeping
You know I'm looking for you

And baby, you know there's no getaway
I belong with you




I'll be calling every night and day
'Till you want me too
